1. What’s the best headlamp in the market you know and want to recommend it to others , and why do you think it’s best and recommendable
Thorfire Sense headlight 18650 - it has a motion sensor and that is cool

2. what’s the improvement do you think the headlamp ( which you mention in question 1) still needs
could be brighter than it is and I don’t like the tint. but can change the LED

3. what’s your suggesting special functions for headlamps
motion sensor is cool, should/might run on 1 or 2 18650 (in parallel)

4. any other thing you want to propose
selection of head bands (different sizes/colors)

1. What’s the best headlamp in the market you know and want to recommend it to others , and why do you think it’s best and recommendable
Skilhunt H02 New (NW+TIR)

2. what’s the improvement do you think the headlamp ( which you mention in question 1) still needs
this driver Разрабатываем драйвер для налобника | Мастерская: Tamagotchi и Rime

3. what’s your suggesting special functions for headlamps
PID controller for temperature control

4. any other thing you want to propose
red LED for Moonlight

1 I have had an armytek wizard pro warm for a few years.
It has lasted daily use. I have gone snorkeling with it. I have used it in near zero degree f weather. It just keeps working

2The only improvement would be an even brighter led. Which armytek has done with xhp50

3 special function instant access to moonlight and instant access to turbo. No turbo timer just temp regulation low voltage protection for unprotected cells

4 all of this in an affordable package good luck =)

1. What’s the best headlamp in the market you know and want to recommend it to others , and why do you think it’s best and recommendable
Armytek Wizard Pro V3 - It has many useful functions like low voltage colour LED indicator, magnet in tailcap, and you can choose XHP-50 LED for very bright floody beam.

2. what’s the improvement do you think the headlamp ( which you mention in question 1) still needs
Maybe there could be another version with micro USB recharge function for those who want it.

3. what’s your suggesting special functions for headlamps
Ability to use external battery pack or self contained battery. Using a waterproofed plug to add a battery pack on that can be stored on helmet, pocket, or backpack for increased runtimes that headlamps often need.

4. any other thing you want to propose
Having choice of flood or throw reflector/optic is a nice option to have.

1. I don’t know which is the best headlamp, I didn’t have them many but I have Crelant CH10 and it’s nice, it needs some improvements thou.
2. I have the XP-G2 version with smooth reflector, that is not good for close up work that I mostly use my headlamp for. It needs XM-L2 + OP reflector or even better: 60 degree difuse TIR optics.
3. Special function: something like changing modes without touching the headlamp, like on Olight H15 wawe, because hands can often be dirty or you need them both to hold something.
4. A simple cardboard box with some foam inside for packaging this product, it helps greatly to avoid damages in transit. Also, integrated USB charging would be nice feature to add.

1. Nitecore Hc30 . Great runtimes , and very good performance .

2. a lower , low mode . like 2lm

3. strobe mode , battery test function and usb charge .

4. some good spaced modes , including a really low one .

If your giving away headlamps how about giving me my warboy that never showed up?

1. What’s the best headlamp in the market you know and want to recommend it to others , and why do you think it’s best and recommendable

Nitecore HC90 for outside work around the camp, hunting, fishing as it has a great balance of colors, modes, and batty life. I also really like that it he main beam is infinitely adjustable

Fenix HL 50 for around the house. Very light with the CR123A and great mode spacing for just about any household task that requires two hands and supplmentry light.

2. what’s the improvement do you think the headlamp ( which you mention in question 1) still needs

None. They are perfectly suits to their respective tasks.

3. what’s your suggesting special functions for headlamps

I will echo Sirius9s' comment. Hands free mode mode changes where you could just quickly shake your head up or down to go up or down one step in brightness. Left to right to change modes. It wouldn't be a budget light but done properly it would be awesome.

4. any other thing you want to propose

None

Thanks for running another giveaway.

1 Skilhunt h15,light enough to carry, nimh or liion capable
2 i wish theres a red light
3 built in charger
4 none

  1. What’s the best headlamp in the market you know and want to recommend it to others , and why do you think it’s best and recommendable
    > Haven’t found one yet. Tried Skilhunt H02 recently, seem like a decent model with good lumens, modes, and build quality.
  2. what’s the improvement do you think the headlamp ( which you mention in question 1) still needs
    > Weight. 18650 can be front heavy for prolong use.
  3. what’s your suggesting special functions for headlamps
    > Must have red LEDs, temperature control and super long runtime.
  4. any other thing you want to propose
    > Make it compact and IPX-8 if possible.

1. What’s the best headlamp in the market you know and want to recommend it to others , and why do you think it’s best and recommendable

I think this has to be a ZebraLight, even though its headlamps are not budget products. As a fan of high CRI, I like the ZebraLight H600Fd Mk. III.

2. what’s the improvement do you think the headlamp ( which you mention in question 1) still needs

CRI should be in the 90s. The upcoming handheld ZebraLight SC600Fd Mk. III Plus promises this.

3. what’s your suggesting special functions for headlamps

In general, I think headlamps should be designed for medium and short distances.

4. any other thing you want to propose

Blinking modes are a low priority for headlamps.

Thanks for the giveaway, GearBest.

This thread deserves to be trashed because GearWORST its that bad.

If you are one of the fortunate ones to have had no problems with this company, good for you.

If they fail to ship items or leave items out of shipments as they have done repeatedly to me, be prepared to deal with a long list of ridiculous requests that ignore the content of your correspondence.

GearWORST is rated ! AVOID ! by this forum for good reason.

1. What’s the best headlamp in the market you know and want to recommend it to others , and why do you think it’s best and recommendable

Fenix HL23 because it uses single AA battery and good runtime

2. what’s the improvement do you think the headlamp ( which you mention in question 1) still needs

I wish it has red LED as well

3. what’s your suggesting special functions for headlamps

motion sensor for easy access to modes

4. any other thing you want to propose

headlamp size shall be as small as possible

1. Nitecore Hc30. It is the best headlight I own, it is very small, it comes with a pocket clip and double funtions as a flashlight.
2.I think the user interface is a little awkward/complicated. It goes straight to moonlight, and has the option to go straight to turbo. I think it should be able to go straight to a medium mode.
3. I think it doesn’t need strobe, so the shortcut to strobe should be a shortcut to medium.
4.I like how the Warboy works with small periodic dimming to keep the light from getting too hot and having a longer battery life. I would recommend a magnet on the tailcap to increase its usability.

1. Fenix HL23 because it uses single AA battery and good runtime

4. headlamp size shall be as small as possible

1. What’s the best headlamp in the market you know and want to recommend it to others , and why do you think it’s best and recommendable
Zebralight AA since it can use batteries commonly available worldwide and has decent brightness and modes

2. What’s the improvement do you think the headlamp ( which you mention in question 1) still needs
Warmer tints

3. What’s your suggesting special functions for headlamps
built in charger

4. Any other thing you want to propose
none

1) Yinding. I don’t own one yet. I am going by the many positive comments on mtbr.com. It is used by cyclists, particularly mountain bikers, both as a handlebar light and a helmet lamp.

It has a neutral white tint, which is very important to distinguish natural features in the landscape. My guess is that speleologists would also like neutral white. There does not seem to be enough neutral tint lights offered.

And it, along with Nitefighter/Revtronics BT40s (this I own), is recognized for quality construction in a budget bicycle light.

2a) It would be vastly improved if the base was designed for Gopro mounts since Gopro adapters for both handlebars and helmets are widely available.

2b) Another improvement would be if this Gopro adaptable base also incorporated a heat sink. The light can get quite hot.

3) Special function: a wired remote control would be great. Instead of reaching for the light unit itself, you would reach for the remote that you would fix in a more convenient spot, such as on the side of a helmet.

4) As an accessory, a 2x18650 battery pack, or just the case, could be offered; the weight of a 4x18650 would be hard on the neck. The battery pack, or case, would fit into a head strap system or come with universal mounting for vented helmets.

1. What’s the best headlamp in the market you know and want to recommend it to others , and why do you think it’s best and recommendable

Haven’t found one yet. I tear them apart to modify them to where they’re useful

2. what’s the improvement do you think the headlamp ( which you mention in question 1) still needs

Amber and red emitters, XP-E2 or PC Rebel, with a moonlight white as the THIRD not FIRST choice, and mode memory, and no blinkies

3. what’s your suggesting special functions for headlamps

Good at night without destroying the night vision adaptation of anyone around.
You won’t appreciate this in China or anywhere else unless you can see the Milky Way clearly visible in the night sky.
Go on, go outside after sunset and look up. Can you see the Milky Way tonight where you are?
It should look something like this:

That’s a good measure of how much light pollution at night your location experiences.
If you can’t see the Milky Way, you’ll build a headlamp that’s far too bright to use outdoors in a dark sky location.

4. any other thing you want to propose

3xAA NiMH (3.6v) or li-ion with a driver that handles both

5. non-electric alternative for backup
